vorlon carrier?

[darknight]

does anyone know if the vorlons get a carrier, or other new ships for 2e?,

The Vorlons don't get a carrier. There was talk of a big new Vorlon ship in the future, but it won't happen in 2e.

The Vorlon fighter is quite nifty in 2e, though.

better firepower?shields?

Any loving for the Vorlons other than a fighter upgrade? Any new ships or variants?

Something that no other fighters have.

Cookies?

Adaptive armour, so it still only takes one hit to kill them, but they sound harder than they are? :lol:

s.a.p.?

Nope - see various discussionson this board..............apparently they have all they will ever need in their four ships - I disagree for previously stated reasons including sheer variety of gameplay..........

I would have liked a Carrier, a Scout and the big Planet Killer thingy (Escorts and Scouts are mentioned in Darkness and Light) and the latter is in the show.

As moongose wrote the latter book it is at least internal canon............

I'm disappointed they're not getting a carrier. How do fighters get around. Long lonely flights... seems dumb. Real oversight in the race design.

Also AOG had a Planet Killer mini - why not release that? There are rules for that already.

How big would it need to be?

The playtesters raised the possibility of a Vorlon Carrier and Scout quite often. However, an army/fleet is as much about what it doesn't have as what it does.

That said, never say never, we are already starting to lok at ideas for ship releases in 2008. . .

A Vorlon planet-killer would be ridiculous, sorry. It took all of the other Ancients to destroy it in the series, that is 10 Armageddon points. So when there are 3 priority levels above Armageddon, sure put in a Vorlon Planet-killer. Until then, don't dumb it down! Or, maybe make it cost 10 Armageddon points to field? Which would pretty much rule it out of any games, ever.

I'm all for more variety and extra Vorlon/Shadow designs, but not the planet killer. Please.

 

[darknight]

yea, wished they at least had a carrier, maybe theyre so hard they dont mind the long lonely flights,
its a shame you have to spend pl points on fighters when its allready quite hard to bring a big vorlon fleet out because of the pls

 

[MustEatBrains]

Maybe Mongoose could release the old killer miniature as some sort of carrier,destroyer, mothership or whatever, but I don´t really see the need for a real planetkiller. Maybe as a S&P article including a conversion, but a regular release? Don´t think so.

But again, the FA killer miniature might be an intersting asset for the fleet.

 

[thePirv]

Just call it the Babykiller and have it at Ancient level


(I'm gonna get a narn bat squad on me for that babykiller bit, aren't I? :lol: )

Agree - make the Planet-Killer into smaller "moon-killer" or something and use the model. The Destroyer and transport are the same - just with upright or folded petals. Also, don't worry about scale - since when has ACTA worried about scale?

Still a Carrier for a race with fighters seems obvious.

I thought the ISA blew one away and we used to have a Shadow Cloud which was quite powerful.................although I would much rather have some more variety in lesser ships............the carrier and scout especially.

 

[Burger]

Nah, there was only ever 1 Vorlon Planetkiller destroyed in the show IIRC. That was at Coriana 6, by the Ancients.

Yeah the Shadow Cloud really should be more powerful, probably Ancient or a level above it. Not as good as a Vorlon Planetkiller since the League/ISA/2x Victory killed it... but still very powerful.
